No, it's like being forced to buy auto insurance when you're a perfectly safe driver.
Or, it's like being forced to buy auto insurance when you have a license, own a car, but never drive it.

The logic behind being required to buy auto insurance because you CHOOSE to drive is nothing like being required to buy health insurance because you choose to exist. You don't have to drive. You can ride a bicycle, you can ride mass transit, you can walk. You have choice.
In many states you can also secure a bond for the coverage minimums of the state and you are essentially self insured.
And, at least in the 5 states I have resided in, you are not required to carry auto insurance if you own a car, have a license but NEVER drive. You file a certificate of non use and no insurance is require until you choose to register it again.
Perhaps you should choose your answers more wisely.
